Longing - Chapter 1 (snippet #21)... 


But it was two years ago when Zoe received her first news of being passed over for a new heart, that Taylor’s fascination had been peaked. Zoe didn’t cry or curse or scream like so many did. No, she had tugged on the cuffs of her sweatshirt until they completely covered her small hands and attempted to console her mother. “It’ll happen for me,” she’d said. “Don’t worry, Mom. Let’s be thankful we have today.”
